Three things matter to me in this world, family, the family’s business and fighting nature’s urge to mate. Mating in my world means submission, and I am nobody’s bitch. I’m a lone wolf who likes her freedom. I don’t need saving; I don’t follow pack rules, and I don’t need the sexy Alpha Malcolm following me around. The wolf inside me recognizes him as her true mate; he may have won her over, but it will take more than sexy smile to convince me to join a pack.

Three things matter to me in this world, my pack, the pack’s business and a feisty lone wolf by the name of Cady. After the death of her mother, Cady has been moving place to place with her lone wolf uncle, Erik. When Erik decides to open a shifter bar near my territory, I knew it was time to claim my mate.
There’s only one problem she thinks I want to control her. It’s hard to convince her I don’t want to tame her when I’m Alpha to her old pack.
She’s mine, her wolf knows it. Now’s it’s time to show Ms. Mills that you can’t fight nature or destiny.

My new Wattpad paranormal romance project, the first chapter is posted for your enjoyment. Click on the link below. Every week a chapter will be posted on Wattpad.

Ethen Rune is a centuries old vampire used to his solitude. He’s wealthy and disciplined, he expects extreme competence from those around him. Amelia Winters is the baby sister to a family of vampire slayers, she was raised to hate all vampires. When Amelia’s best friend Tessa has a near fatal encounter with a vampire, Amelia must enter the world of blood courtesans to save her friend’s life. Blood courtesans are expected to seduce and satisfy their vampire sponsors. Can Amelia bring herself to seduce the very creature her family has hunted for years? She soon realizes that there are no rules where vampires are concerned and that her own life and heart may be at stake.

At first reading this I thought this was going to be the same old cliché vampire romance. Vampire meets seemingly shy young woman and saves her from a dangerous vampire and they fall in instant love. What I discovered was much more, this is a love story of two people who are not supposed to even like each other falling in love and saving each other. The characters were original and complex. Their relationship progressed quickly but the chemistry was authentic. The story takes place in Chicago where vampires make a home for their selves. Marked builds a world within reality giving readers a clear understanding of vampires and what governs their actions.
The only growth area for this book is the setting could have been strengthened a little more. I would have loved to experience the city more in the writing. Marked: Winter (Blood Courtesans) in a few words is action-packed, at the edge of your seat love story of two enemies falling in love. This book held me captive until the very last page.
